These days, different states have different quotas for different castes. Tamil Nadu has more people under the reservations system than, for example, Guja-rat. If a guy enjoying TN's reservations moves to Gujju-rat, he may lose his special status.

It looks like, in future, only people who do not belong to the reservations category, will opt to move to another state. This has already happened in TN - DKheads harassed Iyers and the latter moved to other parts of the country. This trend must be common in other states as well.

If CMs are smart, they will reduce reservations to attract meritorious people from other states. If there are no reservations in a state located right next to one that has excessive reservations, the one with no reservations will progress faster......

I agree that it's the worst in Tamil Nadu, particularly for the Tambrahms; it's tragic that they had to dislocate because of the DK Heads' mission and violence. I may be wrong, but this anti-brahmin sentiments and brahmin-bashing business has been, and continues to be the most intense & disproportionately prevalent in Tamil Nadu, given the general inter-caste feuds & violence in India.

From what I gather: way back in the early 1900s, in view of the TN brahmins supporting INC en masse, and their dedicated efforts in effectively spreading the "freedom/independence from the brits" message through various media, it was the british who schemed, funded and enabled the founding of the Justice Party in 1916 with their anti-brahmin mission, but that badly lost to Congress Party in 1937, when EV Ramasamy took the leadership, and subsequently changed it's name to DK** (1952) energizing it with hatred and violent attacks on the Tambrahms, that continues even today.

** DK opposed independence and wanted Brits to continue ruling, so that they could keep up their funding and livelihood continue.

I think the state politicians are worried that their own SC/ST's will be deprived of the quota seats if people from other states, especially the neighboring area states, with the similar status (as SC/ST) move into their state and start competing for reserved seats.
